Nearly 100 people have been shot in Chicago in less than a week, pushing the number of shooting victims so far this year to more than 2,500 — about 800 more than this time last year, according to data kept by the Tribune.
Between last Friday afternoon and early Thursday, at least 99 people were shot in the city, 24 of them fatally. At least nine people were killed on Monday alone, the deadliest day in Chicago in 13 years, according to Tribune data. Among the wounded that day was a 10-year-old boy shot in the back as he played on his front porch in Lawndale.
The number of shooting victims in Chicago stood at 2,514 Thursday morning. At this time last year, 1,725 people had been shot. The city has not seen this level of gun violence since the 1990s, a trend the Police Department has blamed on lax gun laws and feuding gang factions.
Over eight hours from Wednesday evening through early Thursday, three people were killed and at least 10 others were wounded in the city.

DJ, you really don’t get it, do you?
Just wait for them idiots in chicago the stupid as a sack of rocks mayor and idiot city council to push for stricter gun control gun confiscation and repealing the 2nd AMENDMENT as suggested by some intelleciual morons becuase dumb liberals always blame someone or something other then the crinimals
But, Obama said his library will lift Chicago out of this.
Just wait.
“Lax gun laws” to blame where the strictest gun laws in America are in effect.
No, BLM will not mention this. To do so would be to admit to the problem and to do that would divert attention from the faux-racism they want to promote.
